1010music Introduces Bitbox Touch Screen Eurorack Sampler Module

"1010music Ships bitbox, the First Touch Screen Eurorack Sampler Module

Los Angeles, CA, November 14, 2016 - 1010music (http://www.1010music.com) is shipping bitbox, a revolutionary new 26HP Eurorack sampler that features an app-style interface to provide modular synthesizer systems with on-the-fly, synchronized, 24-bit audio recording and playback of up to 16 simultaneous samples. Use bitbox to quickly record the output of cool patches and electronic jams as high-quality files. Recordings can be locked to the patch clock and recorded to bar/sync boundaries, so there is no fussing to find loop points. For playback, just launch any combination of up to 16 audio clips via a simple touch screen grid interface designed for speed and function. Creative options abound and include triggering samples as loops or one-shots via MIDI, CV Gate and modulation. Use modulation inputs to launch rows of up to four clips at a time to easily create complex, new layers of sounds. Save or load up to 12 banks of samples to microSD card, so you can easily recreate your set and/or use the samples and loops in Mac or PC applications. There’s even support for Ableton Live format.

Bitbox adds new creative possibilities to Eurorack, with its straight-forward touch screen interface, high-quality 24-bit recording, and innovative sample manipulation capabilities.

Features:
• Playback of up to 16 simultaneous samples from internal memory or up to 4 directly from microSD. • Trigger samples via touch screen, CV gate inputs, or MIDI input

"Finally dropped my Sonicware Liven into the portable mix. Got a cute little groove developing here. Was stoked to show you my progress. 1010Music Bluebox at the hub of everything. Bluebox is running OS ver .8.6 still in beta testing/ dev mode. Also in the mix Pocket Operator PO-28, Volca Bass, Volca Kick, Volca Modular, 1010music Blackbox. A couple guitar pedals in the mix including WMD Geigger Counter 2. Technically everything you see here can run on battery power so this could be completely portable.

1010music nanobox | tangerine -- multisampling a hardware synth & VST

1010music nanobox | tangerine -- multisampling a VST

video upload by 1010music

"Multisampling is a technique in a sampler or sample playback synth that is composed of multiple actual samples, which are assigned to different portions of the note span. This technique is often used to improve the realism of samples of conventional instruments, many of which have timbral properties which are different between higher and lower notes.

As a general guideline, you might start with sampling every third or fourth note across the instrument's range and include multiple velocity layers for each sampled note. From there, you can adjust based on the considerations above. For example, you might sample more densely in a range where the instrument's timbre changes more noticeably and less densely where the changes are subtler. Listening tests during the production process are crucial to ensure that the multisample meets your standards for realism and expressivity.

Where the tangerine Looks for Note and Velocity Information
When the tangerine loads a multi-sample file set, it looks for each file’s Root Note so it can map the file to a MIDI Note, and if multiple files have the same Root Note, the tangerine looks for velocity information so it can map each file to a range of MIDI Note velocities and respond dynamically to the way a performer plays each note.

The tangerine looks in the following places in the following order until it finds what it needs:
1. SMPL tags of the WAV files
2. INST tags of the WAV files
3. The file names for the WAVs
When parsing the file names, it looks for the following format:
[Text name] + [ - or _ ] + [note number] + [ - or _ ] + [Vel1] + [ - or _ ] + [Vel2]

If tangerine doesn’t find the root note information in those three places, it will map the files in ascending, alphabetical order, starting at C2 (MIDI Note 36)."

FIVE MINUTES WITH The Tiny 1010music Tangerine Sampler

video upload by sonicstate

"The newest in the 1010music nano-box range, the Tangerine packs a lot of power into a tiny box, perhaps moreso than previous models. With 24 voices of stereo sample playback, and 8 channels of stereo disc streaming its a clip launcher, one-shot sample, multi-sample instrument solution.

Chris B from @BOOelectric takes a break from their album launch (check it out, its a goodie) to take a look.

The only downsides we can see is the limited single stereo output (two would have been fab!), and the cost - as you might want more than one of these to handle live duties if discrete outputs are required.

Tangerine is shipping November 2023, priced at $399

1010Music Series 1 Eurorack Powerhouse: Review+sound test for Bitbox, Fxbox and Synthbox

Published on Jul 24, 2018 loopop

"A few years ago 1010Music released Bitbox – a simplified but extremely powerful Ableton-Live style sampler, slicer and clip launcher – by far the most advanced Eurorack sampler I've ever seen. Where it gets a little confusing is that since then they've released two completely different firmware versions for the same hardware – Fxbox and Synthbox, which transform it into radically different modules. I'm not talking about just updates with new features (which have also come out separately), but rather alternate firmware versions with entirely different functionality. In parallel, they've released independent modules with said firmware versions, which can also load each other's firmware.
